Not, How Did He Die, But How Did He Live?
by Unknown Author

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
Of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed?
But had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.

WHY YOU SHOULD USE AN INDEPENDENT FUNERAL HOMEIf you or a friend have used a funeral home in the past, don’t automatically assume it’s the best choice. Not all funeral directors are the same, so it pays to do your homework.

INDEPENDENT FUNERAL HOMES that are listed on our website are here to help you before, during and after your time of need. We work together to ensure that consumers receive the best possible standard of service at the most realistic cost. INDEPENDENT FUNERAL DIRECTORS are small family owned businesses and provide real value for money when compared to publicly listed funeral brands.

NON-INDEPENDENT funeral homes are not listed on our website. They are mainly owned by two ASX listed companies, Invocare and Propel Funeral Partners. InvoCare operate over 270 locations and 16 cemeteries and crematoria. InvoCare has 3 national funeral brands in Australia (White Lady Funerals; Simplicity Funerals; and Value Funerals). Propel Funeral Partners, which is seeking to emulate InvoCare, currently operate in 103 locations, including 23 crematoria and 7 cemeteries.
